Bitcoin: Mark of the Beast?

[inoob]

The"Mark of the Beast" is in the hand, and in the forehead, and is the worship of the anti-christ so that you can do business with "the" one-world currency.

As far as I know, you don't have to worship anything to buy or use Bitcoin.

[BittBurger]

You dont have to worship anything to use the mark of the beast.  You just need it to buy and sell.

Guess where the price of BTC has returned to, hmmmh?

This kind of bullshit should be in the off-topic section.

I have already pondered this.

All bar codes being used right now already have 666 embedded in them.  There are two lines at the beginning, two lines in the middle and two lines at the end without any numbers on them but they are equal to the "6" seen on the last half of a bar code (for some reason the 6 at the beginning of bar codes do not have the same line size) but nevertheless, it is enough to make one uneasy.

That said, I think BTC will become wildly popular.  It will be anonymous and governments will NOT like that.  So, in order to make sure they can keep their control over their minions they will force everyone to put a bar code (that already has 666 on it) on their hands or heads and then they can keep track that way, because they will not be able to monitor it any other way.

So, does the Bible in a sense  confirm the success of BTC or some other crypotcurrency in a way?  It is something I have thought of.

Personally, I think more Christians should be buying BTC.  It might be helpful to remain "anonymous" a little while longer anyways.  Just my thoughts on this.

you do realize that babble is a complete work of fiction which has been copied and recopied and changed countless times over the centuries to suit whoever is needing it to commit atrocities at the time, don't you? It is not real.

Tinfoil hat humor, what if Mark Karpeles IS the Mark of the Beast?

What Bitcoin brings into game is that the ledger becomes public.

Which we must change and will and remain decentralized.

And anonymity that can't be broken by the government.

My mind would be totally blown if someone could solve that. To me, that's the equivalent of someone "walking" upside-down on the water by moving his hair as tens of thousands of tiny legs.

Centuries ago, we were fooled into trading our prosperity for worthless paper.

Today, it's worthless computer data.

As a numerologist and a conspiraracy theorist, you will always find "clues" that lead you to whatever you want to believe. For example, 21 is a number linked to pope/vatican council, so you could say, oh, it's so clear, 21 million coins because of that. Also, 21 is the amount of grams a body losses after dying, some say is the weight "of the soul". See, you can come up with tons of theories in a second with numerology.

His concerns do have a reason, there is no such bullshit in this post. He worried that one day in a future when they government adopt bitcoin as a legit currency, how they would treat the bitcoin architecture, however the main purpose of bitcoin invention is to curb the self-governing system.

There ya go!

"Revelation 13:16-17
King James Version (KJV)

16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name."

Wow.  I posted this just over 3 years ago.  Seems like a lifetime.

[blablaace]

technically it is called 'functionality creep' ..

[hangar18]

if you're worried about the number of the beast, I'd say many Corporations are pretty beastly

This is a lack of understanding of the bible and a lack of understanding about bitcoin. I have friends who have this opinion until we talk about it.
